1. Rajon Rondo: The Best Defensive Point Guard

While Chris Paul might have been named to the All-Defensive first team in the 2011-12 season, and Rajon Rondo settled for second team honors, there is no point guard I would trust more than Rondo with the game on the line.

Rondo’s intensity and fearlessness are unmatched by any other point guard in the NBA.

But what sets him apart is his willingness to defend anybody, anytime.

Rondo goes all-out, is willing to sacrifice his body for every loose ball.He averaged 1.8 steals per game last season (tied for sixth best in the NBA) and always seems to be one step ahead of his opponent.
